For their Double Live album, the Rheostatics did a song called "Desert Island Discs." This song is about your favourite records. I thought it would be fun to see what everyone's desert island discs are. Send your picks to the address on the previous page and I'll put them up. If you were stranded on a desert island, what discs would you most like to have with you?...
